Carmela Soprano's Polpettone - Meatloaf, Italian Style

Some folks like something different for Valentine’s Day.

And some folks like something familiar, basic comfort food.

And, wouldn’t you know it, these folks usually end up marrying each other.

And, wouldn’t you know it, they have to celebrate Valentine’s Day together.



I've got just the thing in Entertaining with the Sopranos.

Carmela has a meatloaf recipe, Polpettone.

Really, this recipe

Carmela Soprano's Spaghetti with Red Clam Sauce

The Valentine wish with the picture of the puppy reminded me of the dogs in Disney’s cartoon Lady and the Tramp.

Remember the scene in the restaurant?

The one where they shared a plate of spaghetti to the tune Bella Notte?

Not a bad way to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day.



If you’re craving an Italian dinner but it’s too late to make a reservation in the local Italian restaurant - or you just

Wishing you a day filled with all you hold dear…

Wishing You a Happy Valentine’s Day!



Life is never measured 

by the years you have lived,

but by the love you have shared,

and the people whose hearts you have touched.


Thank you for visiting!!

Carmela Soprano's Chocolate Fudge Sheet Cake

Valentine’s Day is coming.
